Basanti seeks votes for BJP in Amritsar

1 Feb

Joining the bandwagon for ongoing election campaign, BJP’s Member of Parliament (MP) and its star campaigner, Hema Malini on Tuesday gave the much needed fillip to campaigning of her party nominees for assembly as well as Lok Sabha by election as she amused thousands of spectators converged in the two election rallies organised in two different segments of holy city.

The Bollywood heartthrob, who stole the show during the decades of 70s and 80 with her unusual acting style and earned the title of ‘dream girl’ by giving so many super hit movies, arrived in the holy city as a part of her campaigning schedule in Punjab. She addressed the first party rally at Verka in Amritsar-East segment, in favour of BJP nominee Rajesh Hani in the afternoon and took part in another rally in Amritsar-Central constituency that was organised in favour of Tarun Chugh of the party.

Hema, while addressing the gathering in Verka, urged the electorate to abstain from casting their votes in favour of ‘opportunists’ as well as outsiders and instead opt for a local and sincere leader like Hani, who would lend them a helping hand in the hour of crisis. She also cautioned the voters not to be misled by “timely fours and sixes” of anybody, rather choose an appropriate leader of their choice.
